Draconid meteor shower is expected to peak at 11 p.m. ET Monday .

The Draconids are the result of Earth intersecting with a trail from the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner.

The shower gets its name because the meteors appear to be coming from the constellation Draco the Dragon.

Meteor showers occur as our planet passes through debris trails left behind by comets.
